06:25:54 <pa_5803> hello guys
06:26:03 <pa_5803> I have some questions, can you help me ?
06:26:33 <pa_5803> =/ why nobody answers.
06:26:53 <pa_5803> help!
06:26:54 <GizmoBot> pa_5803: Welcome to the PortableApps.com official chatroom. Ask your question and someone should be able to help you shortly. If you still don't get an answer, try posting on the forums: http://portableapps.com/forums
06:27:02 <pa_5803> Why don't vendors themselves offer portable versions in most cases?
06:33:28 <PatrickPowell> because it defeats the purpose to sell more
06:33:41 <pa_5803> Do vendors work closely with portableapps.com for development of the apps?
06:33:48 <PatrickPowell> If you can buy one license and transfer it to many computers they make no $$
06:34:12 <PatrickPowell> I really know of no commercial developments
06:34:17 <PatrickPowell> we have some freeware ones
06:34:40 <PatrickPowell> We mostly develop FOSS
06:35:37 <pa_5803> Do the vendors check the portable versions before portableapps release them?
06:36:15 <PatrickPowell> What vendors are you referring to?
06:36:29 <PatrickPowell> Most apps are created by individuals or teams
06:36:34 <PatrickPowell> most are open source
06:36:48 <PatrickPowell> and most developers of software love that we do what we do
06:37:47 <pa_5803> Finally, are portable versions released by parties other than the vendors safe?
06:37:48 <PatrickPowell> In my case I made portable a game in all of its development was only downloaded 2000 time th eportable version on our site has ove 10000 downloads on just one version
06:38:05 <PatrickPowell> who are these vendors you keep referring to?
06:38:27 <PatrickPowell> ANY poerable commercial product not purchased rom the vendor is illegit
06:38:55 <PatrickPowell> On our site we have a strick rule against distributing commercial illegal copies
06:45:12 <pa_5803> thank you
06:45:30 <pa_5803> I posted your answers in http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=320346
06:46:12 <PatrickPowell> znd who are you?
06:46:28 <PatrickPowell> and do you have my expressed permission to do so?
06:46:29 <pa_5803> in that forum
06:46:30 <pa_5803> SirPeterPan
06:46:40 <PatrickPowell> as that is against law to republish with out consent
06:46:54 <pa_5803> no, should I remove?
06:47:05 <pa_5803> should I remove the answers?
06:47:31 <pa_5803> im a PA fan, just trying to help the guy who asked these questions
06:47:59 <PatrickPowell> well first off they are not factual as you came in on a psuedonym
06:48:04 <PatrickPowell> also one moment
06:48:15 <PatrickPowell> while I screen capture your site
06:48:22 <pa_5803> I'm going to remove the post with your answers
06:48:22 <pa_5803> sorry
06:48:45 <pa_5803> It's not my site, I'm just a member of the forum
06:49:10 <PatrickPowell> Support Chat PortableApps.com has an online support channel where you can chat live with our developers, moderators and other users. It's a great way to get help with a quick question that's not addressed on our online support pages and better handled live than in our community forums. You can either
06:49:27 <PatrickPowell> also you need to realize I maybe a developer but am not an official rep
06:49:56 <pa_5803> thank you didnt know that
06:49:59 <PatrickPowell> di dyou bother to read this page? http://portableapps.com/support/chat
06:50:11 <PatrickPowell> well you went to the page to log on here
06:50:13 <pa_5803> No I came here from a bookmarked link
06:50:21 <PatrickPowell> don't you read ?
06:51:05 <pa_5803> uh, not sure
06:51:11 <pa_5803> how to answer
06:51:11 <pa_5803> :S
06:51:15 <PatrickPowell> I have no issue with you posting PROVIDED you change it to that I am a volunteer app developer
06:51:27 <PatrickPowell> and not an official representitive
06:52:10 <pa_5803> ok, I'm posting it again with that info
06:52:18 <pa_5803> I deleted the old one
06:52:51 <PatrickPowell> as for me check me out http://portableapps.com/node/26077
06:53:31 <PatrickPowell> and as a selfish plug http://portableapps.com/node/30620
06:53:50 <PatrickPowell> The person you really want to talk to is JohnTHaller
06:57:23 <pa_5803> These sentence have some ortographic errors: "<+PatrickPowell> ANY poerable commercial product not purchased rom the vendor is illegit [03:40] <+PatrickPowell> On our site we have a strick rule against distributing commercial illegal copies"
06:57:32 <pa_5803> can I correct them?
06:58:09 <PatrickPowell> ortographic?
06:58:14 <PatrickPowell> what is the beef
06:58:19 <PatrickPowell> I am not a typist
06:58:27 <PatrickPowell> in fact I am a tech on a voice chat
06:58:37 <PatrickPowell> because I am king of typos
06:59:00 <PatrickPowell> so if you change it is not my wordss
06:59:07 <pa_5803> hahaha ok
06:59:15 <pa_5803> I'll post it exactly like you said
06:59:54 <PatrickPowell> as for your vernaculat I have on thing to say GTH
07:01:36 <pa_5803> didnt understand
07:01:58 <PatrickPowell> which oart?

07:16:23 <PatrickPowell> and use in Win 7 XP win 8 and ubuntu
07:16:28 <PatrickPowell> works well fo rme
07:16:57 <PatrickPowell> The site has many great chat clients
07:17:05 <PatrickPowell> I just got used to this one
07:17:21 <PatrickPowell> WB Again kAlug
07:19:30 <pa_5803> good idea, I use Miranda IM to chat on MSN, will start using it with IRC
07:23:00 <PatrickPowell> Almost there on my script kAlug
07:23:07 <PatrickPowell> Personally I prefer audio
07:23:13 <PatrickPowell> less typing issues
07:24:20 <PatrickPowell> I think I am trying to get NSIS to do more than it should
07:27:42 <kAlug> PatrickPowell: Do you need help with it?
07:30:26 <PatrickPowell> well I can not get it to over write existing files
07:30:38 <PatrickPowell> Hang on I post what I have so far
07:31:11 <kAlug> FileWrite <file> w
07:31:16 <kAlug> ops
07:31:20 <kAlug> FileWrite <handle> <file> w
07:31:57 <PatrickPowell> http://pastebin.com/8QZfTL9Y
07:32:03 <PatrickPowell> so not copy?
07:32:15 <PatrickPowell> ok back to manual
07:33:53 <kAlug> I see what you mean now.
07:34:07 <kAlug> The manual says nothing about overwriting.
07:35:27 <PatrickPowell> it says you can but not how
07:35:57 <PatrickPowell> The File command sets the error flag if overwrite mode is set to 'try' and the file could not be overwritten, or if the overwrite mode is set to 'on' and the file could not be overwritten and the user selects ignore.
07:37:27 <kAlug> Are you using File or CopyFiles?
07:39:23 <PatrickPowell> CopyFiles /SILENT "$EXEDIR\Data\settings\'*.*" "$strPortableAppsPath1\ThunderbirPortable\Data\settings"
07:40:30 <kAlug> $strPortableAppsPath1?
